Metaphor

What is the most effective way to work with children? Metaphor of course and oh yeah… it works just as well with adults too.

What is a metaphor? A story that effectively allows the receiver to make meaning/sense of some/one area in their life.

For small children, a most effective learning device that allows them to create from their own thoughts rather than being told what and how to think.

Did I mention it’s just as effective with adults?

Done correctly, metaphor teaches the receiver how to learn, not what to learn. To make meaning through their own resources, to get their own aha’s. This is a most powerful way to learn and retain information.
